Sydney Chinese SDA Church has taken concepts from the original PowerLab VBS by divergemedia and adapted it to something easier to use and reuse.
The animals and their characters are as follows:
- George the Giraffe - Be Thankful "Howdy down there. George here. I am thankful for my long neck. It helps me reach to the top of trees. I want kids to love God and be thankful to Him because he reached down and loved us first.
- Zach the Zebra - Help each other "I'm Zach the zebra! Zebras tell each other apart by our stripes. Although we all are unique, we like to stay together and help each other!"
- Leo the lion - Be Brave "It's me Leo! Lions live in a tough environment/ to be able to live we learn to be brave and face the challenges."
- Eric the Elephant - Live Forever "You recognise me by my trunk. I am Eric the Elephant. I'm a hard worker and I enjoy helping kids. I am well known for my long term memory. I'ld also like you to remember that God loves you and he wants to live forever with you.
Animal (mascots) were chosen because of how easily you can get onesies of each animal. They cost roughly $20 and can be reused over again. They're generally quite comfortable too and easy to make if you wish to create your own costumes.
